Finding a shady spot by Kunming Lake, I took in the peaceful atmosphere. Wandering around, I discovered hidden gems at every turn, making me appreciate China's history and beauty even more."Beijing.Zhongguancun Area>100km from DatongHighlights: Situated in the Haidian District northwest of Beijing, the Summer Palace is a Unesco World Heritage site that used to be the palace and garden of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It is the largest and most well preserved royal park in China. Construction of the palace began in 1750 and it served as a residential and entertainment area for the royal members. The palace underwent two major reconstructions after suffering damages during invasions by the Anglo-French Allied Forces and the Eight-Power Allied Forces during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Summer Palace can be divided into three sectors: a political activity area centered at the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity; an empress living area concentrated around the Hall of Jade Billows and Hall of Joy and Longevity; and a tour route concentrated along the long corridor, rear hill, and the west sector.Show Less

based on 17 reviews"Very fulfilling day, the master took us to the two most famous attractions in Ulanqab one day. The driver master was very enthusiastic along the way and told us a lot about the attractions. The time to stay in the attractions was enough to finish shopping. It was a pleasant trip."Chayouzhongqi.Huitengxile Grassland>100km from DatongHighlights: When translated from Mongolian, Huitengxile means "cold high plateau." The grasslands are located in the south-central part of Chahar Right Middle Banner in Ulanqab to the north of Yinshan Mountains. With the colors and styles of the northern pastures, this vibrant place also possesses the bright and beautiful colors of a Jiangnan water town. Huitengxile Grasslands are cool and comfortable in the summer and cold in the winter. Ever since ancient times, it has been a popular summer destination. The best time to visit is between May and September. With many lakes and vast meadows of flowers rolling for miles and miles, it is one of the few high-altitude alpine meadows in the country.Show Less - 7.74.7/53686 Review"Guide Li contacted everyone in advance, patiently waited for every tourist, and took everyone to visit every attraction on rainy days. Let us understand the history of Jingshan. We must listen to the explanation when we come to Jingshan. We recommend Xiucai."Beijing.Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area>100km from DatongHighlights: Jingshan Park is situated on the central axis of old Beijing. It was an imperial garden during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The park's central peak was once the highest point of the old city. The building at its summit, called the Wanchun Pavilion, is must-see for visitors to Jingshan Park. From here you can enjoy views of the whole of the center of Beijing, and photograph the whole of the Forbidden City. This is also where the last emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Chongzhen Emperor, committed suicide by hanging.Show Less

Every attraction from the siege to the Kowloon Wall has a very careful explanation. Although it is raining, it does not affect our mood. The slight rain has no artistic conception. It is worth praise that our team leader explained it perfectly, funny and gentle. Thank you Mr. Zhang."Beijing.Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area>100km from DatongHighlights: Beihai Park lies to the northwest of the Forbidden City. Beihai, Zhonghai, and Nanhai are collectively known as the Sanhai. Beihai Park was once an imperial garden. It is also the park with the strongest feeling of original Beijing within the Imperial City walls. In the mornings, elderly locals exercise and take a walk with their caged birds; the afternoons and evenings are the time for taking a rowing trip around the park. When visiting Beihai Park, you can admire the exquisite buildings left behind by the dynasty. You can also sit beside the lake, chatting with the seniors and listening to their stories about Beijing.Show Less

Xiangshan Temple, Shuangqing Villa, Xianglu Peak, Zhiyuanzhai, Qinzheng Palace 👍"Beijing.Xiang Mountain, Badachu Scenic Spot>100km from DatongHighlights: Located in the western suburbs of Beijing, Xiangshan Park is a royal garden with mountain and forest characteristics. The park is lush with trees and many ancient monuments are hidden in the forest. It is a scenic spot and natural oxygen bar in Beijing. The "Xiangshan red leaves all over the sky" in autumn every year is the highlight of the Attraction and is almost known to every household in China.A good place to enjoy autumnThe red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain are a great place to experience the golden autumn in Beijing. Every year in the golden autumn season, the cotinus coggygria trees all over the mountains become bright red after being baptized by severe frost, dyeing the entire Xiangshan Mountain a fiery red. Among them, Senyuhu, Yuhuaxiu and Langfeng Pavilion are all great places to see the red leaves. After the snow in late autumn, the continuous green mountains are covered with silver, and the white is dotted with patches of red clouds. This is exactly "Clear Snow on the Western Hills", one of the eight scenic spots in old Yanjing.Admire cultural relicsXiangshan Park has a history of nearly 900 years. As early as the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the royal family built palaces and courtyards in Xiangshan. In summer and autumn, the emperors would go there to hunt and cool off. There are many cultural relics and historical sites in the park, and pavilions and towers are scattered among the mountains and forests. The "Biyun Temple" is a temple with the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing dynasties; the "Five Hundred Arhats" with wooden gilding, which is rare in China; the "Zongjing Dazhao Temple" that welcomed the Sixth Panchen Lama, and the quaint courtyard "Jianxinzhai" with Jiangnan characteristics, are all places that cannot be missed in addition to the red leaves.In addition, Shuangqing Villa on the southeast slope of Xiangshan Temple is also a place not to be missed.Show Less
